Israel told us to move to south Gaza. Then it said it would bomb the south too. So where do we go now?

Rozan As I began to write this, here in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, Israeli missiles were striking nearby.

Some people have the right to defend themselves; while others, especially if backed by Uncle Sam, must not even protest whilst being slaughtered. After all, they’re just ‘human animals’. Your racist prejudice shines through the ivy. The statement of the… Read More The Harvard Law Review Refused to Run This Piece About Genocide in Gaza
